I'm also going on vacation on Tuesday to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so I'm really excited about that.
Sorry I haven't posted for a while... I sometimes feel a little awkward about posting when I'm doing well. I know this is probably silly, and that it might actually help others feel a little more hopeful. But I also want to be respectful of those who, at the present moment, are struggling more intensely.

Actually I think posting here when you feel alright would bring you down so maybe it's a self-care thing to stay away when you feel better.
